U.S. POUNDS FORMOSA WITH BOMBS

The largest force of B-29 Superfortresses ever thrown into action - more than 100 - blasted Formosa, followed by attacks by 450 carrier-based planes as preparations for the re-taking of the Philipines continued.

British and Greek troops, converging by sea and air, occupied Athens and its nearby port of Piraeus, ending more than three years of tyrannical Nazi rule in the Greek capital.
